THEY ARE AVALIBLE NOW 10/10/16 FOR THE NEXT BATCH OF TOWBARS ........... 10 /10/ 2016

Gadgets Speed Shop Presents: NEW Westfalia Towbars 4 Early Bays 67 to 71 buses

##### NOTE : THESE TOWBARS WILL NOT FIT A CROSSOVER BUS SORRY #####

These Towbars are the Best and thats why EVERYBODY wants them, They come with all the Stainless steel Nuts and Bolts All You need is a bus to Bolt it to ,They are 100% British Made

I've managed to do an Exceptional deal and keep the price to £ 265 Each which IS Great ;)

Ok People after ALOT of work, More than I thought, I can Now offer you Brand new EXACT copies of the Westfalia Towbar for Early Bays . Its taken me trawling four different fabrication shops to find a family company willing to make these to MY obsessive standard .

Now after finding this fabrication shop they are made Exactly as the original ... Not nearly the same ....Or that will do, its only a towbar, Whos going to see it .... Etc Etc .

The company has over 50 years in metal fabrication and There 100% British

These are finished in Full powdercoat Black ,Just like the original. They are Exact copies of the original 1200 Kilo grams version and are made of brand new stronger than original steel ,Not an original fatigued/ stress cracked example.

The towbar replaces the factory bumper mounting brackets that hold your bumper on your bus and it mounts to Factory installed pre drilled and tapped holes already fitted to you bus ;) No welding /fabricating needed . :mrgreen:

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: If you wish to check where these holes are , they are located in the top corner of the chassis directly under the battery trays on your early bays at the rear of the bus . :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Now each towbar comes with all new stainless steel bolts/nuts/washers to bolt the towbar to your vehicle . There is a mounting plate provision to fit full single plug electrics to this towbar, But I'm afraid the electrics aren't included with this kit.

##### To really finish off Your towbar a prewired trailer plug is available from ebay for as little as £7.50 #####

The price of each towbar is £ 265.00 each and they can be posted, BUT as expected are VERY HEAVY so collection from a show is preferred BUT I can ship this usually costs £30 in the UK ONLY

EACH towbar is made by skilled British craftsmen, Not Kids in Taiwan and as such Each towbar is made Specifically For You and Your Bay window .

Hi Gadget Boy, just wondering what shipping to Sydney 2564 NSW Australia would be? Also, do I need to run a standard exhaust for it to fit, or am I able to continue to use a Fat boy exhaust or a vintage speed hidden muffler?

Thanks in advance Mats.J
 
Have you got a picture fitted? Are any of the mounting point visible when looking at it standing up, I've seen some that bolt to the rear face of the van and look bulky that's all
